My effort to get taller

[GoingForGold Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close GoingForGold]

I ride a bike and would try raising the seat except I don't want people to think I'm humping it. I would try gaining weight if I were you, much more within the constraints of reality.

The only way to get significantly taller (>1") is to have your legs broken and stretched while the bones heal back. Ouuuuch.

May I ask why you want to be taller?

It´s a bad handicap to the things that I´m doing.

in the 1980s a lot of bodybuilders used "gravity boots" to hang upside down from pullup bars and do workouts like that. i imagine it could help you gain some height if you spent time hanging from your feet like that, just google gravity boots

Ouch, kickinthemebs! Was that in Amnesia?

I recognize that you won't change your mind OP. However, here are some advantages of being short to help you whilst you feel better whilst you go about your research.

Good things about being short:


* You never have to watch out for low door frames. Or tree branches. Or ceilings.
* You do not become unapproachable since you're not physically intimidating.
* You have the strategic advantage in a fist fight. People have to aim down to hurt you so you know where they're going to strike and you have a smaller area to target.
* The short ladies will appreciate the ease and comfort of your interactions.
* You fit into normal size clothing. No worries about exposed ankles and wrists.
* You're far more likely to excel in careers that need friendly looking staff.
* You can fit into any car or space without a second thought.
* Some studies have shown that smaller people live longer. Their organs need to work less to keep them ticking over.
* The shorter you are the bigger your penis looks in relation to your overall size.
* Falling over or being knocked down hurts a lot less.
* You don't have to be as scared of heights.

That might help my posture and stretch the torso a little longer. Ty

Okay so here is the answer like I told you earlier. I don't care what you read anywhwere it cannot be done. You height is determined by your skeleton which is bone. Although it is true that if you sleep on the floor you may get a 1/4 of an inch in the morning due to the spine straighening out as you stand and the day progesses the spine compresses again. It's simple so try believeing it.Bone cannot be stretched!!!!!

Hehe it´s not that big deal. But why should I give up something that bothers me, before even trying it? Personally I like to improve things and set goals in my life, so why not try.

I actually bought them and have been wearing them for 5+ min a day for over a week. I like the boots, they give me a little ab / arm workout and helps with back/neck pain. I doubt it will help me get taller, but it´s an interesting thing to experiment.
